LA FLEUR PETRUS Jean-Pierre Moueix, who established his wine merchant business in Libourne in Libourne in 1937, purchased La Fleur-Pétrus in 1950. This history estate, situated directly between Château La Fleur and Pétrus on the plateau of Pomerol, was his first vineyard acquisition. The visionary négociant recognized in this vineyard a pure expression of Pomerol’s unique terroir, a realization that inspired him to devote his career to establishing the international reputation of the appellation. The vineyard is made up of three parcels on the plateau of Pomerol located within a range of 500 meters, with altitudes averaging 33 to 38 meters above sea level. The pebbly soils from the northern parcel yield a wine of great elegance with notes of black cherries. The centre plot, known for its summer heat (the area is called “Tropchaud”), produces a wine of tremendous suppleness with a hit of plum. Wine from the southern parcel is particularly velvety, dense, structured, with a pronounced rose of blackcurrant. Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2000 Pomerol Lots 504-512 in two six-bottle original wooden cases Lot 513 in original wooden case Parcel: lots 504-512 12 bottles per lot
